Goodbyes

Goodbyes are hard for me, they always have been. I am not good with them and I am not sure I ever will be. Which is why I am writing this post. My cousin Tyler recently went on his mission, with any missionary this was hard for me. Annie Tyler and I have been best friends since before we can remember. We did as much as we could together when we were all in one state. Everything from baptism to Glamour girlz. We even tried three way calls when we would miss each other. All in all he has been one of my best friends. I was able to attend High School with him and it was nice to know that he would be there for me unconditionally. He was in the choirs with me and it always made my day so much better when I saw him walk through those doors because I knew that no matter what we would be there for each other. He gave an amazing farewell talk that brought me to tears. It is hard to realize that he wont just be a phone call away anymore. At the same time I know that he needs this mission and they need him. He is going to grow and learn so much that I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else. I know he knows that the Church is true and he is going to go out and change peoples lives. I am so proud of him. All of these things are what make the goodbye easier. So here is to you Ty-man. I know you're going to do great things and Annie and I will be right here waiting for you to return!
